SPEECH
• You might target what you are supposed to say. Long pauses
can create a very awkward moment between you and your
audience
• You might memorize the speech mechanically. This
can result in a very unnatural delivery
• You might focus on content. Consequently , groping
for the right words might make you look uptight and
stuff.
• You might be too tied to remembering your script. This will
give you no chance to pay attention and respond to audience
